This aircraft is the former famous C-121A warbird N494TW (ex USAF 48-609), which was bought by Pratt & Whitney and donated to Korean Air. It departed Avra Valley, AZ on 01 Apr 2005 on delivery to Busan-Gimhae, South Korea. The route flown was Tucson - Oakland - Anchorage - Cold Bay - Hakodate (Japan) - Inchon (South Korea) - Busan (South Korea). On 18 Apr 2005 it flew its last flight ever, to Jeongseok on Jeju Island. The Constellation is now preserved at the Korean Air Flight Academy airfield and painted in the colours of Air Korea with registration HL4003. The real HL4003 was an L-1649A(F) Starliner, c/n 1037.
